1959 Bentley S2

 

Henry Behrens found the big B in a barn in Maine. Photo angles were..difficult. It has been a while since we posted a Bentley...like this 1937 Bentley 4.4 Liter Saloon. BTW, have you read Brian Appleyard's book, The Car?

1942 Ford F-1

 

Henry Behrens caught the truck in Maine. We have posted lots on F-1s, F-2s and M-3s 

Blue Hill Karmann-Ghia

 

Henry Behrens photo. Maine. Who doesn't want a Karmann-Ghia? Some cars just say "happy".  We have posted several, include this 1970 K-G from NJ; and a '67 in Cambridge

Squares

 

From Reid Cunningham: " A real work truck. It's at least 37 years old.  Still  running steel wheels and bottle caps. Nothing but utility here! In Amherst NH"

AL: You know we have a thing for Squarebodies, like this 1973 GMC Sierra Grande 2500 in Nevada. Couple more, here. And our TX and ME trucks:

1940 Packard, California

 

From Colin Washburn: "At the  Jamestown CA annual car show. Unusual to see a Packard there, as it’s mostly hot-rods. Many are to be seen at the Ironstone Vineyards Concours d’ Elegance in September. Usually a ‘41 180 is there, like my first car, that I NEVER should have sold! Blame it on the useless war (Vietnam ). I got drafted and had nowhere to store it. Sold it to a girlfriend’s brother who appreciated it and restored it to original condition. Made me glad. It was/is one heck of a fine automobile!!"

AL: see our post on Colin's Packard. And this 1950 Packard.

1940 Buick Eight, Wellfleet MA

 

Mary Behrens photo. Great profile. we have posted a 1940 Buick Eight coupe. Here's a 1946 Buick Eight sedan. And a 1952 Buick Eight from Berkeley.

Another Saab Story

From Reid Cunningham: Saabs have slowly faded away from the National vehicle fleet, so it was a nice surprise to find this one at the grocery store, on vacation.  Nice original condition, must be a summer ride only with New England winter salt.  Given it was Burlington VT   I wasn't surprised to see a second Saab in the lot!!

 (AL: Vermont was at one time the State of Saab. We have posted many a Saab story, like this 1971 wagon with tail fins. And the sporty Saab Sonett.
